> For example, the Emmy’s (and the Hollywood Reporter, for example) consider NBC, ABC, HBO, Netflix, and Amazon to all be networks on equal footing.

The trade papers may use ‘network’ interchangeably in Ye Grand Tradition of old school Deadline slang for TV, but nobody in the industry would ever confuse networks (read: ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX) with cable/premium/streaming channels.

As a mere set of eyeballs... why are they (E.g. Netflix vs CBS) different? And why should I care?

To me they are all channels. Just some don't allow binge watching or time-shifting well and others do.
